Journalist recently got the news that Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou
(also called Modern Hospital Guangzhou) will invest around 10 million to set up
4 minimally invasive centers. Being expert in minimally invasive surgery, Modern
Hospital Guangzhou has been honored as Gold Medal Hospital of minimally invasive
treatment. Director of hospital, Mr. Wang Huaizhong said in interview that, the
goal of Modern Hospital Guangzhou in 2013 is to bring in and train talents for
profession and to focus on development of minimally invasive medical
treatment.

The aircraft-carriers set sail again to their goals

Modern Hospital Guangzhou is located at the foot of beauty spot, Biayun
Mountian. As an international hospital, it is known to all that, hospital has
two special aircraft-carriers, the bigger one is minimally invasive medical
treatment equipped with Genecology, Orthopaedics, Oncology and so on, while the
other is traditional Chinese medicine, physiotheragpy of Chinese medicine and
other natural healthy therapies.

As technology and medical treatment progressing, modern medical service is
no longer limited to curing diseases, but gets higher demands on how to reduce
complications from treatments, how to achieve a treatment that only removes
lesions without hurting surrounding normal tissues and how to prevent diseases
radically. In past few years, Modern Hospital has kept searching for the latest
technology in minimally invasive treatment. Now hospital has skillful
technologies in minimally invasive treatment for tumor and gynecologic diseases,
which makes hospital a leading status across the world.

“In order to better serve patients, Modern Hospital Guangzhou adjusts its
structure to set up minimally invasive centers in Gynecology, Orthopaedics,
Gastroenterology and Oncology by bringing in foreign technology and improving
medical service quality.” According to Director Wang.

Journalist noted that hospital has applied minimally invasive treatment in
many operations and the curative rate after treatment can reach up to 98%. Since
its setting up, hospital has created a history of free malpractice through 100
thousand minimally invasive treatments. The widely use of international high-end
minimally invasive technology in Gynecology, such as hysteroscope combined with
laparoscope, brings more hope to female health and realizes the humanistic
concept of benefiting more women by minimal trauma.

Develop hospital by talents

The Vise President of hospital, Chen Bing said, technology and devices are
combined to develop hospital. By the most advanced conception, the most eminent
technologies and latest devices, hospital provides patients the best treatments
featuring less pain and faster recovery, and measuring up to modern medical
development.

The competition of technology attributes to the competition of talents.
Apart from the doctors who have rich clinical experience in operations, hospital
also develops its departments through training in-service personnel and bringing
in qualified talents.

Hospital has brought in highly qualified professionals to enhance the
construction of Department of Oncology, Gynecology, etc, and is planning to
bring in more talents for Department of Gastroenterology. Mr. Chen also told the
journalist: “our system is more flexible and it takes few hours on the decision
of talent introduction.” As long as both parties reach the agreement, a doctor
can work in the hospital soon.

Special departments decide medical brands

Has been the only designated hospital of Europe-China Commercial Union,
special hospital of China Association of Health and model hospital of Health
China in past few years, Modern Hospital also was awarded domestic assured
hospital by China Hospital Management of Association, Most Popular Hospital by
Consumer Council, Reliable Medical Institution by authoritative media, The Most
Powerful Brand Hospital and Most Popular Hospital by portal. Winning the titles
of Famous Hospital for Treating Tough Diseases, leading enterprise of Guangzhou
Province, Safe and harmonious Unite, Faithful Medical Institution and innovative
hospital from China Academy of TCM, being appointed as fixed hospital for free
medical service under Guangdong Organs, it has been destined for friendly
cooperative institution by multiple hygiene department aboard and appointed as
friendship & cooperation hospital by a number of international
hospitals.

It is said that hospital had received more than hundreds of thanks-letters
from foreign patients in 2012. “Undoubtedly these thanks letters are the
encouragement to our medical staff. Hospital will progress to a hospital of
public welfare. Based on the construction principles of high starting point,
high standards and high grade, hospital will develop to a modern special
hospital of modernization management, humanistic service, digital information
and internationalized image.” Director Wang said.

Introduction of departments

Gynecology of minimally invasive treatment: kill the tumor based on the
patient

The minimally invasive center of Gynecology in Modern Hospital Guangzhou is
a model treatment base of domestic gynecologic diseases and has won the title of
Assured Gynecology of Chinese Medical Association. In past few years, Gynecology
of Modern Hospital Guangzhou has made great contribution in gynecological tumors
that it is honored with Expert Hospital of Gynecological Tumors.

Hysteromyoma (myoma of Uterus) is a common benign tumor in females and the
top killer of women health. “A patient used to open a 10cm incision on abdomen
is in order to perform hysteromyomectomy, in which she may get harmed greatly.
Even after operation, a patient may develop the complications like pain and
infection of wound. In minimally invasive treatment, a patient can remove the
tumor without pain and scar left with only 1-3 traumas in 0.5cm long. What is
more, it takes 3-5 days to complete examinations, treatments and recovery. As
minimally invasive treatment features small operative wound, fast recovery and
low medical expenses, it is hugely popular among patients. Dr. Zheng Song,
Director of Gynecology introduced.

According to Dr. Zheng, minimally invasive treatment can solve the problems
like sterility and infertility arousing from stein-leventhal syndrome, clinical
adhesion or obstruction of ovarian ducts, adhesion of uterine cavity,
endometriosis uterine, ectopic pregnancy and so on. Ms. Chen, a patient returned
for follow-up, said she could get out of the bed one day after hysteromyomectomy
in Modern Hospital.

Orthopaedics of minimally invasive treatment: Make the operation more
comfortable and safe

In some complicated and difficult bone surgeries, minimally invasive
treatment can be more precise and safe in treating herniation of cervical disc,
proplapse of lumbar intervertebral disc or disease of joints.

It is reported that a patient of orthopaedic disease only takes 30 minutes
for minimally invasive treatment. With small trauma and little pain, patients
undertake minimally invasive treatments don’t have scarred-adhesion or
interruption in spinal stability, and the risk of severe complications like
nerve damages is rare.

Vice President, Dr. Chen Bing explained: “the complicated and difficult
bone surgeries can be precisely achieved through minimally invasive treatment.
But without skillful operation procedures, even a patient undergoing this
treatment will have great harm. Therefore, if a patient chooses minimally
invasive treatment should go to the hospitals that are qualified and have
abundant technical strength.

Modern Hospital has specially introduced in the foreign advanced
technology, intervertebral disc chemolysis, which is performed under CT
navigation and positioning, C-arm stand and computer monitor. This technology is
created by Italian physician and the most attractive new treatment in minimally
invasive treatments. Now it is widely used in Italy, German, France and other
European Countries. Modern Hospital is the first hospital introducing and
applying this treatment technology in Guangzhou Province. Currently
intervertebral disc chemolysis has become the primary choice for many patients
with prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc.

Special minimally invasive treatment for digestive diseases and tumor

Minimally invasive technology is also applied to digestive diseases and
tumors, besides gynecology and Orthopaedics.

“Currently some routine surgeries for digestive tract, spleen and bile duct
have been replaced by digestive endoscopic interventional therapy, which has
defined the special position of digestive endoscopy in internal medicine and
surgery.” Dr. Jiang Xilin of Modern Hospital introduced. “Endoscopy of digestive
system and interventional treatment are integrated with ultrasound, endoscopy,
computer network and other high-tech imaging technologies. It has changed the
history of medication for internal medicine and operation for surgery, and
opened a bright prospect for medicine development. Without laparotomy, this
technology can precisely insert the fine tube to lesions for treatment, and
bleeding and the damage to tissues around comparatively are less.

It is thought that small trauma is minimal invasion, but Dr. Jiang
explained in this way: “Small trauma is not equal to minimal trauma. Minimally
invasion refers to the damage of organ functions, and trauma size is minor. The
standard minimally invasion is to keep the functions of an important organ.”

Interventional therapy compared to traditional surgery features more
advantages in treating tumor. Dr. Zhen Yanli introduced that: “Interventional
therapy in treating some tough malignant tumors can focus on lesions exquisitely
and confine medicine locally in lesions in high concentration to reduce the side
effects to body and other organs. Performed under local anesthesia, with small
side effects and lower anesthetic risk, it is more applicable to the weak and
old patients. Interventional therapy has become one of the important treatments
to liver cancer, lung cancer, prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc, aneurysm,
vascular malformation, hysteromyoma and so on. It can even help to create the
chance for operation.

Dr. Zhen has met a breast cancer patient from Japan. As medical technology
in Japan is so advanced, she did not believe that Chinese medical treatment can
help her. But with remarkable treatment effect, she started to admire Chinese
medication. Up till now she keeps coming back for follow-up regularly. Without
any discomfort, she lives with family happily, now and then introduces some
patients to hospital for treatment

According to related statistics, patients who have taken interventional
therapy in Modern Hospital, their treatment successful rate is higher than 90%
and death rate is barely 0%.

To know more:

What is minimally invasive treatment?

The first minimally invasive treatment, laparoscopic cholecystectomy was
finished in 1987 by a French doctor named Mouret. Therefrom a new medical era
starts.

Currently, the modern devices can help doctors to finish the operations
through a small trauma instead of the big incisions in the past, this is
minimally invasion. Minimally invasive treatment is to remove or treat the
lesions without surgery, with small traumas a patient can recover faster after
treatment.

Disclaimer: Operation is effective to early solid tumors, but it’s not suitable for most middle or advanced tumors. Patient with middle or advanced tumor is relatively weak, but the combination of minimally invasive therapy and chemotherapy or radiotherapy can effectively reduce the harm and side effects brought by the treatment and help patient get better efficacy.
